“It’s good to learn from your mis­takes. It’s bet­ter to learn from oth­er peo­ple’s mis­takes.” War­ren Buf­fet

Op­por­tu­ni­ties usu­al­ly ar­rive at our doorsteps un­ex­pect­ed­ly some­times with a bang that scares every­thing out of us. Ac­cept­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties is more about equip­ping one­self with a sense of open­ness and readi­ness to ac­quire and in­tro­duce new learn­ings in­to your knowl­edge bank, and less about the changes as­so­ci­at­ed with same. Many of my col­leagues and friends have now re­gret­ted not ac­cept­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties, some of which would have land­ed them in in­ter­na­tion­al spaces. My mantra has al­ways been one ad­vanced by one of my for­mer CEOs…say yes and fig­ure out every­thing else af­ter.

I should have known bet­ter. I was just too farse. Sa­ha­ran dust was thick. Two days af­ter the mas­sacre in New Zealand, a friend of mine from Egypt writ­ing in Ara­bic (my brows­er trans­lat­ed it in­to vague, am­bigu­ous Eng­lish) post­ed a “cov­ered” Face­book video. One click on a lit­tle “eye” icon and you can “un­cov­er” a video or pho­tos and have your day spoiled.
